Health is something that needs proper care from all aspects under different situations in life. Suppose, you have to go to an outdoor location due some official reason or pleasure, what about your health care needs? As we all know bacterial diseases are not limited to one part or region of the world, rather they are omnipresent. Therefore, one needs to take proper care in order to protect himself from coming in contact with diseases (sometimes life-threatening).
The current living standards need more attention to be paid towards getting the right kind of safety measures towards diseases and infections so that one can stay safe and protected from them. For this reason, there are numerous companies, also known as travel health care services offer travel clinics. The purpose of such clinics is to provide people a right kind of medical services for vaccinations, first aid services, prescriptions, and all the other things one might require in terms of health care when planning a tour.
Providing travel vaccinations is one of the most common parts of the services offered by travel clinics in NYC. Lets’ briefly understand the concept of such health protective agents:
A vaccination is an administration of antigenic material the purpose of which is to build immunities against infections or viruses that have threatening side-effects. Moreover, vaccines are the most effective way of preventing your body from infectious diseases not only throughout the whole trip but also long after.
There are mainly two types of vaccines: Live attenuated and Inactivated (killed)
The first category of travel vaccinations is prepared from live viruses that have been "attenuated" so that they generally don’t cause the disease. Vaccines come under live attenuated category include Measles, Rubella, Zoster, Mumps, BCG, Yellow fever, Varicella, Intranasal influenza, Rotavirus, Oral polio, Oral typhoid to name a few.
The second category of such protective agents is prepared by developing the viruses in culture and then inactivating (killing) it by using heat or chemicals. Vaccines come under this category such as Diphtheria, Polio shot, Influenza shot, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Acellular pertussis, Pertussis, Human papillomavirus, Typhoid, Anthrax, Rabies etc., do not cause any disease but allow our body to build immunities against viruses.
One important thing to mention here, the right dose of right vaccine is important for the body to fight against life-threatening infections and diseases. Moreover, there is no single way to administer these protective agents to travelers. Clinics providing travel immunization in NYC consider various factors like traveler’s immunization history, location to be visited, disease (if any), age, amount of time before departure, time of stay, and others.
